Go USA. However, what does "The soccer star scored in the first minute of stoppage time off a round to win Group C on Wednesday and provide a 1-0 win over Algeria" mean? Poor sentence structure." Should that be "rebound

Perez please stop with the sports talk. "We're so proud" you probably never watched a game.
anyways congrats to the US..even though i can admit…i didnt think you would make it past the first round. good luck in the 16.
GO ENGLAND!

He's played in San Jose and he used to eat in my family's restaurant and even mentioned our restaurant in blogs and articles when he played so he's my boy. Wer're proud of you Donovan. Good Work. We love you in San Jose Burrito Factory and come visit us again.

Its not really 'all of a sudden'. There are a ton of fans in the US…but yes, there are still a lot of haters as well. Starting to lose some of the haters and gain a lot more fans though which is awesome.

Re: SF90 – Algeria ? Not a good team ? They made 1-1 against England, which is one of the best teams of the competition. The usa team did the same, and if Algeria isn't a good team, then the USA isn't either !

Congratulations USA, Landon Donovan seems like a real sweetheart (going on interviews). You played well in your games, especially coming back from 2-0 against Slovenia to get the draw (should have been a win but oh well). Algeria played a tough game but you still managed to win.
I do feel bad for Slovenia being top of the group one and then not getting into the next round. But hey, so is life. I'm really interested to see who will come top of the group and who will come second in group D, chances are England will be facing Germany :/

who watches this shit in the united states no one cares about soccer.. though im in miami and 3/4 of my office was watching this shit on the plasmas in lobby i heard a massive roar when it happened lol .. no one is working here

Portugal and the USA? I don't think I'll be able to watch the second round without throwing up. This is bullshit. Though I do admit Donovan's goal was kind of awesome. Re: Sylvanas – England, one of the best teams? Not this year. They've been playing shit, they're probably one of the worst teams to advance.

Hell yeahh !! USA ! USA !
our boys did great ! not only did we win the game but we'r the group leaders .
and to the people who are saying "Algeria isn't even good "
are just stupid ..even England couldn't beat Algeria
but the U.S did !! woohoo ! i'm soo proud .
Donovan is great !
People underestimated the U.S team .
We proved those haters wrong .
We didn't lose 1 game in the whole World Cup
how awesome is that ?
There's still a long way to go but if they keep it up
we might just be able to make it to the top.
FOOTBALL ROCKS!

Suddenly Americans give a shit about soccer? lmao. 99% wouldn't even know where Slovenia or Algeria are on a map. Hilton, there's only two things you know, Ronaldo and Beckham and it's just because they're your imaginary boyfriends of the day. Fuck that.

HAHA I LAUGH AT THE HATERS!
guess what?? One of the most best teams France is out of the World Cup!
But guess who's still in ?? Guess who's the group Leaders ??
USA ! .
Stop making excuses and admit it …The U.S team is awesome !.
The U.S gave all of you haters a slap on the face to let you know their in it for real.
Congrats to England as well, you guys really made you'r way up from the bottom.
The Algerians and Slovenians were tough to beat..but U.S.A and England
are both still standing.
Can't wait untill the next games.
I'm soo glad Americans are seeing how great Football is .

This post is giving me a headache. All these yanks are bragging and fucking bragging, just like typical yanks do.
I think the goal was just pure luck–and the US didn't deserve to win that game, since Algeria and them were evenly matched.
Then again, England didn't deserve to tie those other times because they were playing shit, but they definitely deserved to win today!
I don't expect the US to go far, though.

Re: blahblah12 – Well, every group has its leader so there's 8 leaders after 3 games… what's your point? The US tied 2 games (thanks to an English fuck up) and won 1. I've more respect for countries who win 2 or all games (or at least show us they can actually play) and advance. Besides, group C was one of the worst and most boring groups this year. They'll be facing Germany or Ghana on June 26th, two tough cookies!

Re: justincase69 – Soccer is gay? As opposed to American Football where they wear cute, tight-fitting bottoms, role around the ground with each other, try to grab and spank each other contantly and the quarterback puts his hand under the centers butt?

Re: justincase69 –
HAHAHA
Do you live in Hillbilly Town?
Football (soccer) is the only sport that is seen for 600 million people worldwide. The only event that reunites the world like one. Poor USA has been left behind but thanks God that is changing.
You can not know this living in hillbilly town

I have to admit I don't watch soccer or football if your not in the US, but I do know team USA went in as an underdog and it's kind of cool to see them not sucking as bad as most of the world thought they would. I wish them luck and I wish many many fans of the games some good rounds coming up.

Looks like USA is up againest Ghana although it will not be easy but we will win!!! Goooo USA!!!!
Mexico wil be up againest Argentina and again not easy but I can only hope, since Argentina is VERY good and has the best player in the world right now (Messi) and they eliminated Mexico in the last World Cup.
But I will stand behind both my teams. USA and MEXICO!!!!

Did you attempt to copy and past this article? Perez, you know nothing about football, you idiot.
.Re: SF90 – If you're English, you're making a terrible argument. The USA beat Algeria and England couldn't manage it.Re: meganbeb – Actually, they're right. The USA won the group, while England were the runners up. That makes USA the winners.Re: Pretty on the Inside – Just wait for Germany to kick England's ass…Re: Moogle80 – Word.

considerung that a fiew years ago the US didn´t even know soccer existed they really hit it today - and well deserved to win. AND you have the best-looking team too. PLUS your guys have the real winner´s attitude!!! / compared to those lame-assed french and italian dudes (((

ALGERIA IS STILL BETTER THEN YOU WiLL EVER BE..WORLD CUP AND Soccor is all ABOut POLitics…ITS ALWAys POWERFul CouNTRIES THAT WIN AND ITS NOT Fair AND U Fkin AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN CouNTRIES WiLL GET Your KARMA…WE TIED WITH ENGLANd..aND WERE BETTER THEN you

Re: Moogle80 – You're so right… But more than arrogant, I'd say blatantly ignorant, narrow-minded, painfully pathetic, and grossly ridiculous and sad… the dirt I have under my toenails has more value than that motherfucker maggot…

Re: algeria123 – You do realise the teams that went through to the next round were the ones that WON? It was based on points. There wasn't a secret vote or conspiracy behind it. Algeria came last in Group C.

Well done USA, you did well. I'm English, so obviously that's where my support lies.Re: Sylvanas – But seriously? One of the best teams in the tournament? Nup. No way. Our team's individual stats meant that we should have walked all over the USA and Algeria. But we didn't. Because the team just ain't gelling together. England hasn't been a serious threat since '66. Realistically this tournament is between Brazil, Argentina and Spain (if they pull their finger out a bit more).

winnig a algeria.. isn't really impressive !! dude wake up!!!! hockey might be your game but football definet NO! europe+latin america rules in football!(like u'd say in soccer but losers only say soccer its a shame for you guys!) top football countries are SPAIN, england, brazilia, argentina and italy! so EUROPEAN countries HAHA must suck be from US hahaha ! but the thing is in next 10 years usa will start rolling/getting better in football because there fucking 250 millions immigrants in usa!! everyone is originally from latin america/europe/asia… okay maybe 100 000 are real reeeeal native americans, but mostly you killed them all :/ and they all live in a fucking ghetto/reservation now, not any respect for those who lived there like so long before shitty ppl start to come and create this little weird fucked up country like usa, where u can find so fucking idiot retards like perez hilton,paris hilton,lindsay lohan and most of all LADY GAGA(who gots some italian blood) so fuck you USA, mixed of everything, there's no USA there's a country where lives millions of weird ppl from everywhere and with their stupid laws and… what else…
I can't wait before someone detroits all the shit in usa, your effin country SHOULD GROW UP as a country. amen

Lets give a lesson to you yanks about FOOTBALL. First you can't start telling us English about football its like us giving you a lesson in baseball. We have the hardest football league in the World that has the best players in the World! The only reason that you ended up top was because you played very well and England played rubbish in one of the easiest groups in the World Cup we had the same points you fools it was the goal difference that changed it. I can't wait to see how you think your gonna do with teams like Spain and Argentina even we gonna struggle with the likes of Messi and Villa.

ha ha so true! american football is like a shit padded up version of rugby which they are to soft to play! don't see rugby players covered up, thats what you call real men! and guess where the game rugby came from? Oh yeah and then theres basketball the game we women play in England called netball. Ha ha about time USA started watching a sport that the rest of the world play and not ones they make up on their own that everyone else finds shit.

Re: nicsco13 – THANK YOU FOR BEING INTELLIGENT AND PRESENTING A GREAT ARGUMENT AGAINST THESE BLOODY FOOLS! they can't even get the name of the sport right.. wtf is SOCCER? but then again, can they get ANYTHING In the english language right? they live to butcher it. truly embarassing, bin laden probably attacked them for being dumb shits with no brains who think they are entitled to every other country's wealth and territory. they even had to stick their arses in a sport they don't even like to prove to the rest of the world that they are significant. how sad. and i absolutely agree with the comment about the EPL, it has got to be the greatest innovation since the cavemen invented wheels! much better than the cat-and-mouse race known as the La Liga.
